FARM NOTES.

ENUMERATION or THE Soil
The following experiment made by the
editor of the LfUe Stock Journal shows
the great Importance Of the thorough
pulveTizati0n OF the soil: "We once
experimental by hauling tw~enty.four
large loads of the best n upon
two acres of clay.loam land, had it
well cultivated into the soil, which
bad been worked in the ordinary way,
but was somewhat lumpy. This and
the adjoining two acres were to be
sown to corn for fodder. Upon the
other two acres no manure was put,
but it was plowed and cultivated till
The soil, four inches deep. was as fine
as a garden bed. One and a half bus
els, Of corn were drilled per acre upon
each piece, drills 10 inches apart.
When this corn was in blossom and
ready to cut, the unmaaured two acres
stood eighteen inches higher than the
MANFRED piece. On selecting two sam
PIE rods in different places upon each
piece, cutting the green corn carefully
weighing it, the MANFRED piece gave
275 pounds per rod, and the unma-
nured, but finely pulvefized, gave $50
pounds per rod-the MANFRED giving
twenty-five tons per acre and the other
twenty -olght tons Per acre. The cost
Of extra working was $3.50 per acre.
Could there be any doubt that the ex-
ira labor was well paid for2 1t must
be evident to every thoughtful farmer
that the first thing to be done in fur
nishlng food for crops IS to work more
thoroughly and give finer pulverization,
and when this is accomplished then an
application of some fertilizer"

THE FIZZLING FOUNTAIN.
A Druggist Becomes Communicative

The fizz Of the soda wafer is now
heard at every turn, and the sign "lce
cold Soda'' is conspicuOusly displayed.
An experienced druggist became COM
municative recently and disclosed q
few facts relative to the mode of manu-
faeture and the profit in the business.
''Tms Fountain he sad, sis not a
very fancy one, but it cost me $3.50.
The generator in the cellar is worth
$500, and with the i~ncidentals the whole
cost VIII be 5000. A fancy fountain,
with mirrors, double draught tubes and
other fine fixtures, viii increase the
cost in some instances to 81 900. There
are not many of that class i'll this city,"
"How about the manufacture ?'
''Well, it does't amount to much.
The ingredients are a half bucket of
soda, a quart of sulphuric acid, water
and a little work. This represents
quite an amount of gas and water, and
will result in about SIS worth of soda
water at 5 cents per glass. OF course,
we have to include syrup in that, but
the total cost of a glass of soda water
will not be much more than , cents,
thus making a profit Of owe 100 per
cent?
"What eomposes the syrup %
"To manufacture the syrup we take
about twenty pounds of sugar and ten
gallons of water. We do not boil it.,
but make what is known as cold syrup.
Sprup alone will not cause a froth when
the soda water is poured into it, and
we therefore add gelatine in sufficient
quantity. The more gelatine the longer
the froth will remain. Some people
like to let it settle before drinking, and
once / used too much gelatine, and the
average drInker would not wait long
enough for that foam TO go down, as it
stood up like a tramp at a free lunch
COUNTER
"What class Of people are the best
patrons 2"
Casually the middle and better
classes. OF course there is a transient
trade, and we have customers who
drink their soda water with as much
regularity as they eat their meals. We
have in particular a young lady who
makes three trips here daily during the
season, and drinks soda water with a
relish. Last summer she did not miss
one day, Sunday not excepted. OF
course it cost her something, and |
would feel safe in saying there is not
another girl in st. Louis who has swal-
lowed as much soda, sulphmic acid and
syrup rs this one. She is healthy, and
| think it had no bad effect on her.

In dealing with a cellar in springy
ground the first thing TO be done to
make it dry is to provide some chance
for the water to run away before get
ting into the cellar. This may be done
by laying a two-inch tile drain pipe IN
q trench dug all around the foundation
outside of the walls, and from one foot
to two feet below the cellar floor. Pat
this pipe together without mortar and
cover it with cobblestones to keep out
the dirt and sand. II it be not practi-
cable to lay the drain outside it may be
laid inside of the cellar-walls directly
in the cellar floor; but the operation OF
such a drain is less efficient. The
back-nlling of the cellar walls should be
porous enough to allow the water TO go
directly into the drain.

The human body is much like a good

others, and bad time results; If one organ
or set of organs works imperfectly, perver-

an important aid in good farming, es-

there are many chores. Water should
always be provided in the ~barnyard,
the feeding boxes should be near where

should not be very far removed from
